HOW TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON SHOES
The temptation to spend too much money on shoes is real, so here’s several things you can do instead. I love shoes.

SHOP FOR SHIRTS INSTEAD
Yes, shirts are still a consumer item that costs cold hard cash, but they don’t cost nearly as much as shoes do (usually).

CALL A FRIEND BEFORE YOU SHOP
What? Call? It’s crazy, but it IS a fun thing to do! Just chat up a friend, and reminisce over all of the things you love doing together. Going out to bars, seeing concerts, and shopping for shoes. Yes, this is getting dangerously close to more shoe-shopping, but it isn’t quite the same thing, so you’re safe! Next, meet up with that friend to do an activity you both enjoy. For example, shoe shopping- oh no.
OR JUST GO ON AND BUY YOURSELF SOME MORE SHOES
Give up. You’re just going to return something else you buy to be able to afford shoes, so just go buy some. It’s not that bad a thing to do, anyway. It increases your own confidence, and can be the source of conversation with a stranger.
There you have it! It’s impossible to not shop for shoes. You love doing it, so you should probably just avoid fighting the impulse to go after what you love. It’s not so bad, really.
